Also, ET: I ran your updated graphic through the Graphic Adjuster, and there is a lot of white noise. It's like there's an actual pattern of it in the background. You're definitely going to want to get rid of all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 White noise? What the hell? Look, I'm no expert. You're going to have to explain what exactly is wrong (and probably how to fix it) in order for me to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Just make sure that the white background is really white, and not off-white. Pretty easy to fix, just use MSPaint or the Mac equivilent. -------------------- I didn't get a toy train like the other kids. I got a toy subway instead.

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 This also frequently happens if the file was a .jpg of mid- to low-quality. Heck, half of the graphics at the Louvre suffer from this problem. .gifs and .pngs are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Should be fixed. EDIT: No, I mean I think that this version should be better because I fixed it.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Erm... Right. I'd been meaning to explain myself for a while, and now seems like a good time. Okay. Everything is finished. On paper. I've been without a computer for a while now, so actually making the thing is the real problem. I mean, I had to give Thralni EP to finish, which is why it's not done yet - it'd have been out for ages otherwise. Back to PS, I have 4 towns done and most of the coding, which is nice. When I get a computer again, I'd expect to finish it fairly quickly. Until then, meh.

Unflappable Drayk The Loquacious Lord Grimm Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I do think that it would be appropriate for the beast to appear, at the very least, due to Nioca's bringing it into popularity. Maybe turn it into an animated dancing terrain piece or something. -------------------- The Silent Assassin is a dancing fool. So there.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The Blood Beast has always been one of my very favorite Exile graphics, and I think it's totally awesome that you made a high-quality Avernum version. There's something I wonder though, having never played very far in any of the Exile trilogy, having only seen that graphic used as a giant kobold, and there being no article about them in the Encyclopedia Ermariana. What is a Blood Beast, exactly? Just a monster made of blood? Some sort of demon? Undead? Is this ever established in the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mortimer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 All I could tell is that it was a spare monster in BoE ... I liked and made a new graphic for it for the old graphic competition. So your guess is as good as mine ... but as you can see I tried to have the death animation sort of melt into a big pool of blood and explode into chunks ... it came out abit pony in the end.

Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 This is Budden, right? Love that graphic-- I can't think of anything else I could have subsituted for the beast. In case you didn't know (since I didn't actually email you asking permission or anything.... ) your bloodbeast graphic is used for the 'villain' of Frostbite. By the way, do you have a website or any place where we can see your other graphics (if there are any)? I found the bloodbeast at the graphics contest website, but if you had more that aren't there I'd love to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mortimer Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 All my other graphics are on the Louvre (sp?) ... the Blood Beast was the last before I 'retired' (mostly because I never actually got around to getting it BoA ...eheh ...). Basicly it started with converting the item graphics of BoE with a 'ground' image for Avernum. Theres the ice demon (Which has the melting death animation) and a wild boar ... and the beggar/mage Wraith edit. Maybe it's time I made some more? P.S. As long as you put a credit somewhere in the readme I'll be happy Laz ... maybe I should check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 *Drags up old readme to make sure didn't forget to give credit.... *sighs with relief** I credited all the graphics in FB and I didn't forget about the bloodbeast, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't check out the scenario.
